About this Event
Join Us for Build A Duey: An Interactive Pop-Up Experience!

Join The Duey Dealer for an afternoon where creativity, fashion, and community come together. Build A Duey is an interactive pop-up experience where you'll design your own premium hair protection piece while enjoying music, food, and great company.

Choose from a selection of bonnets, durags, and satin-lined shower caps, then personalize your piece with embroidery and embellishments to create something that's uniquely yours. No sewing or crafting experience is required—our team will professionally sew every Duey on-site while guiding you through the customization process.

Once your custom Duey is complete, step in front of the camera for a complimentary headshot by VC3 Photography and leave with both a one-of-a-kind creation and a lasting keepsake.
